Analytical thinking
BiG-SCAPE groups antiSMASH regions into BGC families via similarity
networks. Requires consistent antiSMASH outputs. Family membership ≠ identical
chemistry — use for prioritization and diversity plots.
How to run
bigscape -i temp/antismash_collection -o temp/bigscape -c 16 \
--mibig --include_gbk_dir
CLI flags evolve — verify with your BiG-SCAPE version help.
